Families and guardians,
Please include the office in any and all communication regarding your student being absent. Teachers don't always have time to keep the office updated and can only mark students as absent or tardy in their system. Only the office can excuse an absence.
Please add rnock@pps.net (Reggie) on your email or call 503-916-6370 to speak with the office or leave a message. In all cases, please be sure to leave a reason (illness, appointment, emergency, etc.) for your students' absence. We must call any unexcused absent students each day.
If you have questions please feel free to contact us!
Welcome to the 2022-23 school year!
We are so excited to welcome students and families back to school on Tuesday, August 30th!
This year we will have free lunch and breakfast available for all students, and all needed school supplies will be provided. We recommend that children bring a re-usable water bottle to school with them, as this makes staying hydrated easier on warm days!
School hours are 8:45 - 3:00 daily, with doors opening for breakfast at 8:30. Whitman families, more information about arrival and dismissal procedures will be sent out via SchoolMessenger on Monday.
Please don't hesitate to call or stop by if you have any questions!
See you soon,
Heather Thompson, Principal
Taylor Langeliers, Principal's Secretary
Dear PPS Community,
Saturday night, gunshots were fired outside of a district-wide basketball tournament held at Franklin High School. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured and the suspect is now in custody, but if you have any information about the incident please call 503-823-3333 or utilize the SafeOregon tipline.
Dear PPS Families,
As we prepare for the winter sports season, we want to share a few reminders for our spectators.
Dear families, students, and colleagues,
It has been a joy to visit learning spaces over the past four months and see our students reengaged in their classroom learning and school activities. I am pleased to observe our students interacting with peers and diving into new curriculum materials.
This has been a very productive time for Portland Public Schools. My appreciation to all the dedicated Team PPS members who work everyday to make our school system better and stronger.
Dear PPS Community,
Every single person in Portland Public Schools believes that our learning spaces must be safe, stable, and secure, and that we have a shared responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of the students under our care. We recognize that recent events, both locally and nationally, have rattled our community.
Superintendent Guerrero issued a broader statement about gun violence and its impacts on our schools, but we also want to explain how we both keep schools safe, and keep you informed.
